Find Joy! Bless this mess

FIND YOUR JOY! December 25, 2009

May your days be merry and bright.

And your nights aglow with twinkle lights.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

When Clement Moore wrote a poem for his family that began, "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house," he had no idea it would become what it has become. Same for the editor of The Sun who answered a little girl's letter.

You and your words are impacting those around you. What kind of lasting effect will they have?

Words to ponder:

Peace on earth; goodwill toward men.

Lyrics to love:

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

~Felix Bernard; Richard B. Smith (1934)

Obama/McCain Dance Off

For a giggle /wisdom from Maxine

Always keep several
get well cards on the mantle..
So if unexpected guests arrive,
They will think you've been sick
and unable to clean.
